Fierce firefights unfolded everywhere, and fireworks rose into the sky.
160,000 U.S. and allied soldiers faced horrific firepower and launched an attack. Each advanced 300 meters in one day, leaving the distance between the two attack groups less than two kilometers.
The defense line of the Okinawa defenders can only hold on for two more days at most before giving up, otherwise they will be attacked by pincer fire from both front and rear.
It took ten days to divide Okinawa into two, and then no matter what, we had to give each combat unit a good rest. Continuous fighting and not getting a good sleep at night were definitely more torturous for the soldiers than imagined.
"Today, June 9th, yesterday we killed and wounded between 2,900 and 3,500 US soldiers. The two divisions had a total of 842 casualties, including 342 wounded. Among the killed soldiers were armed One hundred and seventy civilians, perfect.¡±
Fang Tianlang wrote down the battle damage figures, nodded slightly and opened a bottle of orange juice.
The cumulative casualties of the US military have exceeded 40,000, and most of the first few division-level combat units to land have experienced 40% attrition or even more than 60% at the highest.
The real meat grinder is still to come, such as the "Battle for Hacksaw Ridge" that many people in later generations will know.
The most difficult areas have not yet been touched, and the US military and European coalition forces have already suffered huge casualties. I am afraid that more tragic scenes will be revealed every day.
"There is no need to defend this last position tenaciously. Soldiers can kill more targets by jumping to the outside."
"We have tunnels underground. It would be nice to occasionally get a few soldiers out of the tunnels to attack the opponent."
"Hi!"
The Okinawa defenders prepared to abandon the increasingly narrow position between the two landing areas.
More than two thousand soldiers jumping to the outside line little by little will naturally have the opportunity to kill more American soldiers and allied soldiers.
During the five-day battle between the 119th Division and the 122nd Division, not only did they kill a large number of living targets, but the soldiers also got exercise. After retreating to rest and replenish the armed civilians, they immediately became a full force of new troops.
The Japanese soldiers gradually evacuated their positions, and the attack speed of the US and allied forces increased slightly.
After a day of fierce fighting in both directions, each advanced about 400 meters, leaving less than 1.5 kilometers in the middle area.
¡° It will take at least 24 hours for the vanguard troops to reach the point where they can see each other with the naked eye. It will undoubtedly be a major setback to complete the tactical goal within ten days of the start of the war, which is expected to be completed in three days.
¡¡¡¡
A group of Japanese combat units carrying weapons and ammunition left the defense zone from the tunnel.
The defensive force was rapidly reduced and defense changes were also carried out secretly. The latest two divisions were put on top so that the tired soldiers could hide in a place more than five kilometers away from the firefighting area and sleep peacefully.
No matter how tired a soldier is, if he sleeps peacefully for two days and then eats six good meals each time, he can basically recover to 80% of his physical strength.
"The 9th Division and the 123rd Division of the Kwantung Army will form a new line of defense."
"After the two U.S. military landing sites are brought together, Okinawa will be divided into two parts from the middle. This is nothing. We are like vise on the machine tool. Squeeze the two sides to fight, killing 10,000 U.S. soldiers in one day. These are still in front of us. All the soldiers fighting will disappear in half a month."
Fang Tianlang stood in front of a large map, and his firm voice brought endless power to all senior commanders.
The Japanese commanders naturally knew how terrifying the power was hidden in the valleys, cliffs, highlands and hills behind them. The blows encountered by U.S. and Allied soldiers at this moment may not be one-third of the intensity behind them.
"By adhering to two combat principles, we can eliminate ten times as many opponents!"
"First! Charges are absolutely not allowed!"
"Second! Dig tunnels! Dig underground fortifications! Keep digging all the time! Forty thousand soldiers fight while the rest dig! Without fortifications, a 406mm artillery shell can kill a hundred soldiers!"
Fang Tianlang emphasized his tone, and the combat command room was silent except for the sound from the radio.
Adhering to the two combat principles will make the subsequent battle completely under control. There is no doubt that the Allied forces and the US military will increase combat units in the shortest possible time.
??Perhaps 30,000 to 40,000 soldiers may be deployed in one wave until the entire island of Okinawa is filled.
The fierce fighting lasted from morning until dusk.
The 119th Division and the 122nd Division of the Kwantung Army, after killing about 600 US soldiers with full firepower for the last time, left the hot war zone in the tunnel and hid elsewhere.Behind the two divisions.
Since then, Okinawa has been used by the U.S. military and allied forces as two landing occasions to divide everything into two halves.
The war situation will immediately enter the next stage, and the attack direction of the US military and allied forces will change from east-west to north-south.
¡°Bring up the bulldozers!¡±
"Crush all the holes! Fill them in! Damn it! How many holes have been dug!"
The curses of American soldiers could be heard everywhere in the entire area, and the bodies of Japanese soldiers could not even be seen.
All the supplies that could be taken away disappeared from the ground, as if the battlefield in front of them was just a one-man show by the US military.
"Boom!"
A pressure-fired mine was stepped on and exploded, and a 460mm naval gun shell released huge energy at the same time.
The huge smoke cloud swept across thousands of square meters of ground in seconds, knocking dozens of American soldiers directly into a pool of blood. Although the "Yamato" has become a historical term, the weapons and ammunition on the "Yamato" are still exerting their power to swallow lives.
Six to seven hundred 460mm artillery shells and a larger number of 155mm artillery shells, as well as a mountain of 127mm artillery shells, 25mm artillery shells and even 13.2mm machine gun bullets will continue to kill US soldiers.
The fireworks dispersed, leaving mutilated corpses everywhere.
Nearly a hundred U.S. military engineers were looking for explosives, but terrorist explosions still occurred every five or six minutes.
Many soldiers from mainland theaters can create clever booby traps to deceive engineers from searching. If an unlucky guy touches the trap, a large-caliber naval gun shell will turn into a dense splatter of shrapnel.
The large amount of ammunition removed from the battleships in the cave will eventually be consumed little by little on the battlefield and will not be wasted.
¡¡¡¡
"Today is June 10th, and the Battle of Okinawa has officially entered a state of north-south combat."
"The heavy firepower of the Okinawa defenders will be deployed one after another, and the complex terrain will become a nightmare for US soldiers. No matter how many soldiers come for reinforcements, they will be shot mercilessly in the end. This is an irresistible reality."
Fang Tianlang wrote down a few words in a small notebook, raised his head and looked at the sky outside through the observation hole.
A large number of anti-aircraft artillery in Okinawa will be turned to ground attacks. The reconnaissance planes flying sporadically in the sky no longer need to attack because it is completely meaningless. It saves hundreds of artillery shells to hit among US soldiers and kill many targets. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
